Although he had ambitions, he was never appreciated, and he was depressed. In addition, Zuo Si was ugly in appearance. Although he was knowledgeable, he was not good at speaking. Therefore, he was not good at making friends and rarely made friends with others. Zuo Si's ambition in his early years was difficult to achieve.
When Zuo Si was young, he did not have the talent for learning and was not good at understanding or thinking. He studied calligraphy and drums and harps since he was a child, but they all ended in failure. Although Zuo Si is not good at studying, he is easy to listen to other people's suggestions and asks for advice humbly. In addition, he is very serious and has studied hard since childhood, making great efforts to increase his knowledge and knowledge.
As he grew older and with Zuo Si's diligence, Zuo Si became very good at poetry writing and fussing. His poetry and prose were gorgeous and magnificent, and he was good at the art of yin and yang. Therefore, Zuo Si prided himself on his literary talent. Because of his poor appearance and poor conversational skills, he often lived at home idle.
But this does not erase Zuo Si's ideals and ambitions. With the growth of knowledge, Zuo Si has become known to everyone for his talents and social cognition. He hopes that his poems can be appreciated. . However, due to his poor family background and the emphasis on the clan system at that time, Zuo Si had no chance to realize his ambitions.

From Zuo Si's poem "Ode to History", "The worldly people are in high positions, and the handsome people are subordinate to the officials." It can be seen that under the clan system at that time, children regardless of whether they were born into wealth or wealth were in high-ranking positions, and some Talented and poor people were buried in low-level positions, which exposed the injustice of the system at that time and expressed their own unfulfilled feelings.
